Re: Vintage Tabac Blond: HOLY SMOKES!

I hadn't noticed that....but even if you go back to a bidder with high feedback, you get an $800 bid!

Amazing. Do any other fragrances go this high for their vintage bottles? I know that Chanel No5 is actually relatively cheap for vintage...Is the wild inflation of vintage Caron prices unique? (Caron reformulations are so terrible, I can see why people are so willing to shell out for the vintage stuff....)

Re: Vintage Tabac Blond: HOLY SMOKES!

The same seller has a similarly mint bottle of Narcisse Noir up .... and the y***a with private feedback has been bidding like crazy on both auctions.

I just want to know where the seller found these beautiful Carons. The bottles are perfect, which seems to indicate that they have been sitting in their boxes since the day they were made....if the juice is good, these are treasures!

Re: Vintage Tabac Blond: HOLY SMOKES!

Indeed, and I'd love to know who's bidding/won and if they could be persuaded to offer samples *lol*. Seriously, if they're buying for the juice, that's a majorly expensive risk. My absolute maximum for a vintage buy on ebay is $50, and that's the uppermost end if it's something I *really* want. I'm just not comfortable with risking so much money and having the fragrance turn out to be unwearable. I hadn't even noticed that it was being sold as a collectible bottle as I was too busy gaping at the winning bid. The fact that it wasn't sold under fragrances is a red flag to my paranoid self, but as was said before, I hope the winner is happy.
